Serene Glycerine

Advantages: Large range,lovely fragrances,effective,moisturising and adictive!Wholly natural
Disadvantages: Expensive for soaps,only available from Lush

...was a small price to pay.The bar is supposed to energise and invigorate; this I feel it achieves very well.It saves me a fortune on matchsticks! (?) The good thing about Lush soaps is they contain Glycerine (hence the title) as opposed to some of the harsh alkaline fats that other soaps contain.In other words for us sensitive types, whose skins flake at the mere mention of soaps will be in for an easier ride.They seem to moisturise more than anything,and the smell lingers on your skin even up to the next morning. The Range of Soaps ------------------ There are 12 soaps currently available in the Lush range; these are: Sea vegetable (lime and lavender: stimulating) Honey Waffle (honey,honeycomb,ylang ylang and vetivert:tranquilising) Alkmaar (jasmine and honeysuckle:relaxing) Red Rooster (orange and cinnamon...

Review of Lush Bohemian Soap

Look no further for greasy, oily and smelly hands!

Advantages: I really can't think of any...
Disadvantages: The handcream feels greasy, it smells and it's got a screw top.

...I was given a tub of this hand cream for Christmas. My version of this handcream was in the packaging they bring out at Christmas, basically it's red with a few white squiggles and stars. The tube is 125ml and is quite large in comparison to the small Dove handcreams I usually carry around with me, I wouldn't say it's very handbag friendly because of this which is strange as surely Avon would realise alot of people like to carry their handcreams around with them! The tube states it's a 'Rich Moisture Glycerine Hand Cream.' Just what Glycerine is I do not know, but the word doesn't bring up a very nice image, again leaving me wondering why Avon have this in the main name. Most companies stick with 'Moisturising' without using chemical names people haven't really heard of. It also states it contains 'notanical extracts and vitamin...

Review of Avon Glycerine with silicone Hand Cream

Rich moisture leaves my hands soft and my nails strong and shiny!

Advantages: Low price, works well, smells good, lots of it
Disadvantages: There aren't any really

...Avon Care Rich Moisture Glycerine Hand and Nail Cream I bought this hand cream from Avon a few months ago and am a happy customer. As I am an Avon representative, some of you might know this if you have read any of my other reviews before, I get discounts on some of the products, and as this was one of them and I had never really tried a hand cream before I decided to give this one a go. I'm glad I did because since using this my hands seem softer and my nails are definitely stronger and more shiny. How do you use this? The hand and nail cream is so easy to use. All you have to do is rub a little bit into your hands. Don't wash them straight away after putting this on because you will wash off the cream and it won't be able to work. I use this about three times a week, I don't use it that much because I don't think I...

Review of Avon Care Rich Moisture Glycerine Hand & Nail Cream

Soothe me

Advantages: Cream with many uses
Disadvantages: None if you don't hate the smell of calamine

...Calamine and Glycerine cream For some reason, my hands were incredibly dry, and in a burst of trying to do something positive, I bought some of this cream. It was rather double edged, because given that the chances of continued use were almost nil, then it would be handy for other things. ~~Product and Packaging~~ The cream comes in a box, which, when opened, reveals a 35g tube with the usual screw on/off top. I unscrew the top and pierce the top to make a small hole for the cream to get out. When I squeeze the tube, I find a pale pink thick cream with a strong smell of calamine. In fact, it really does remind me of the bottles of calamine lotion; this could be calamine lotion in cream form without the glycerine; I do believe though, that glycerine has no smell, so it comes as no real surprise that the calamine is the over...

Review of Boots Calamine & Glycerin Cream

For smoother, softer hands

Advantages: Smoothes, softens, moisturises
Disadvantages: None

...I was lucky enough to receive one or two nice Avon products from Father Christmas this year. Isn?t he a thoughtful old gentleman? What do you mean he doesn?t exist? Don?t be silly I have the presents to prove it! Anyway be gone you non-believers for, amongst my Avon products, was a tube of Glycerine Hand Cream with Silicone. This particular tube was the 125ml size and it is very pretty with purple, blue and pink star designs down the side. I have found out that it costs about £2 but that it is often on offer at 3 for the price of 2, so that?s worth bearing in mind. There is also a larger tube on sale and that is also the subject of offers such as buy the large one and get a small one free. (ooer missus!) It smells lovely with a light glycerine fragrance (surprise, surprise!) and a little cream goes a long way. I only use...

Review of Avon Glycerine with silicone Hand Cream

A Bargin if ever seen.

Advantages: Cheap, not greasy, goes a long way and has a pleasant smell
Disadvantages: Leave the hands feeling a little strange, but this is not unpleasant.

...I was never a person to use hand cream but when I hurt my back a few years ago, my hand started to develop dry, rough patches. Like your feet, your hand revel the true state of your body! It was then that I discovered Avon?s ?Glycerine Hand Cream with Silicone?; my mother had used it for years, and a glycerine cream before that, so she suggested that I try it out. Initially my hands felt greasy and very slippery as I applied a small amount of the cream (size of a pea) and began to rub it into my hands. It seemed to also cool my hands slightly. Once the cream was well absorbed into my dry hand, it felt like a coat of plastic covered my hand. That must be the silicone working! The tube states that both the glycerine and silicone it contains are ?well known for their intense moisturisation and skin protection properties?. It is...

Review of Avon Glycerine with silicone Hand Cream

SOFT AS A BABYS BUM

Advantages: lovely and smooth skin
Disadvantages: greasy if you use too much

...I buy things on special then I put them in the cupboard under the stairs and forget all about them until I tidy it out as I did today. I came across Avon Glycerine Hand Cream I had bought three I think it was last year for the price of two. If my memory serves me right they were about £2 each Every year I get dry hands and I have to buy hand cream so I knew it wouldn?t go wrong. I thought to myself (well I do talk to myself sometimes as I am sure of a sensible answer LOL) ? Margaret you had better look out some hand cream before the cold weather comes in?. It?s in a plastic container about 6 ½ inches tall and stands up on its flat bottom, which is very handy and it is easily squeezed out too. It contains glycerine and silicone well known for their intense moisturisation and skin protection properties (well it says that...

Review of Avon Glycerine with silicone Hand Cream

Softly softly

Advantages: Advantages: good value for money
Disadvantages: Disadvantages: Would prefer a flip-top lid

...I'm always on the look for a good hand cream. I find my hands can dry out very quickly when working and need something that is quickly absorbed and non-sticky, so it's a tall order for most hand creams. I bought Avon's Glycerine Hand Cream with Silicone from my local Avon representative when they were having a sale. I bought mine for ₤1, this cream normally retails for ₤1.99 for a 125ml tube. Appearance: The tube I bought is white with green writing and on the front a pale green rectangular pattern. I have seen this hand cream in different colours of packaging but always in a 125ml tube with a screw top lid. Use: I used this for the first time after I'd been cleaning the house, so my hands were feeling quite tight and a little dry. Opening the tube is easy; the tube has a screw top lid. I must admit I prefer...

Review of Avon Glycerine with silicone Hand Cream

Slimy, Greasy and Popular On Ciao

Advantages: it was free!
Disadvantages: slimy, greasy, stinks!

...Happy New Year!! Well, reading SusanLesley’s excellent opinion on Avon Glycerine Hand Cream with Silicone reminded me that I wanted to review this product too. Her opinion was a very positive one, whereas mine isn’t really. It just shows you how wide opinions can be, varying from one person to the next, so it’s a good idea to try it out for yourself! I received this hand cream from my Avon lady as a freebie with my Christmas order, so that was very kind of her and I was looking forward to trying it out. I have dry hands, especially in cold weather like it is now. I get eczema sometimes too and have recently had dry, peeling skin in-between my fingers, which has led to me being unable to wear my engagement ring! The most striking thing about this cream is the packaging. The tube has a blue lid and a white back...

Review of Avon Glycerine with silicone Hand Cream

Sticky Fingers

Advantages: Moisturizes well and lasts through handwashing, dishwashing, etc.
Disadvantages: Very greasy

...If you have read any of my previous opinions, you may already know that I suffer from very dry skin in the winter time, especially my hands. I've tried a multitude of hand creams and lotions. I wrote an earlier opinion on Avon Care Deeply, one hand cream that I particularly like. I've also purchased Avon glycerine with silicone hand cream, which is called Avon Silicone Glove in America. I bought it on offer at $1.99 a tube, which was a good value. Avon Silicone Glove has a pleasant scent, and it works very well to moisturize my parched hands, particularly my knuckles which sometimes crack and bleed. It also protects my hands throughout dish washing and other cleaning chores. The problem with this hand cream is that it is extremely greasy. It does not soak into my hands easily. Sometimes I find that I have to wipe off...
